Laurent Signac

Laurent Signac is an Associate Professor in Automatic Control and Systems at ENSIP (École Nationale Supérieure d'Ingénieurs de Poitiers), part of the University of Poitiers. He maintains dual affiliations with the LIAS laboratory at both ENSIP in Poitiers and ISAE-ENSMA in Chasseneuil, contributing to the Automatic Control, Data Engineering, and Real Time research teams.

His research spans automatic control, neural networks, and artificial intelligence with applications in industrial fault detection, robotics, and algorithmic problem-solving. Key contributions include neural network-based stator fault diagnosis in induction motors, fractional-order system identification, and explorations of algorithmic survival mechanisms. His work bridges theoretical control systems with practical engineering solutions across electrical engineering and computer science domains.

Analysis of his publication timeline reveals consistent innovation in neural system identification (2001-2009), evolving toward interdisciplinary applications in cryptography (2013), light diffusion modeling (2014), and computational thinking education (2017). His research demonstrates sustained integration of control theory with neural computation across industrial, biological, and educational contexts.

As a core member of LIAS laboratory's Automatic Control team, he participates in France's national research ecosystem focused on signal processing and real-time systems. The laboratory's dual-campus structure facilitates collaboration between ENSIP's engineering programs and ISAE-ENSMA's aerospace expertise, positioning his work at the intersection of academic research and industrial application.
